quartzite sandstone and a loose layered argillaceous sandstone
interbed. The columnar joints in the medium-thick quartzite
sandstone layer are very developed, forming a single stone pillar of
the vertical rock formation.
The spheroidal weathering of the sandstone makes the stone column
resemble the shape of the Luohan; the refraction of the light makes
hundreds of shimmering Luohans lined up neatly on the cliff to form
this rare natural wonder.

The numerous wave marks in the Longtan Gorge are the remnants of

named as the giant fingerprint because of its texture shape such as
human fingerprint.

layered argillaceous sandstone or argillaceous siltstone, which

types of patterns. . “One person, one stone” is the most typical
pattern among them.

is extremely strange. The tens of layers of purple quartz sandstone
deposits like colored; the earth’s annual ring;; the footprints of the

beach; in the wide and varied, winding canyon, as if roaming in the
maze of nature; the colorful cliffs make people feel like they are in a
fabulous world. .

rock next to it has a pattern like a fairy, just like bathing out from the
pool.
